Things I Love:

I love Kathy C's new sweater.  She knit up a real beauty.  It was from a kit called Dawn.
I want to knit this sweater...someday.   The Drape is just lovely. 

We were all knitting together when we heard there was white smoke from Rome.  We hurried home and got the wonderful news of a new Pope.   This St. Francis fan is thrilled. 
Perhaps this Pope will let CCD teachers tell children animals go to heaven. My children were very upset when a teacher told them their pets don't go to heaven.  

 Karen is selling these locket necklaces.  I want to buy one and put a piece of my wedding dress lace inside it.....(saw that on Pinterest) and I loved it.  
I love having gone back to knitting my socks yesterday.

I had to take a break from the shawl as the metal needles were hurting my hands/wrists.   
As soon as I picked up the tiny size 1 wooden double points my whole body relaxed....
I felt it ...seriously.  
I"ve been away from socks for a good month or two..

I LOVE knitting socks....

and I LOVE when you comment...
makes my day.  
THANKS

Oh I love knitting socks too so I can relate to relaxing at the feel of the needles in your hands.

I certainly hope pets go to heaven. I mean, how could then not? Your friends sweater is lovely. g

Love the locket, I think I tense up when I have size 1 needles in my hands and relax with size 6 and up. Funny isn't it?
Hugs,

Does she sell the lockets? I love a locket...

I was so blessed; I had Sr. Joanne and my own godfather for CCD. (I mean... there were others, but those two were SPECIAL.) I'll never forget Sr. Joanne telling us, "Oh honey, I knew I'd never be happy with just one man. That's why I became a nun; now I can love 'em all!"

Why yes... we were discussing the different KINDS of love...

Yes, isn't it interesting how we have a "go-to" project that just feels relaxing in our hands? I used to like the bigger needles, but my current favorites are size 2 and 3.

Does the sweater yarn have sparkles in it? I love yarn with sparkles!! AND I love that locket. I can think of a lot of different things I would put inside.

I have been away from knitting socks for too long. I started a pair and put them aside to knit for the soon-to-be baby, but my knitting spirit needs to get back to sock knitting.

That is a lovely sweater! And the locket idea is pretty neat, too.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
